Favre got sacked.
Opinions please?
I for one am not too overly surprised that Lucien Favre got sacked today. The only thing I am wondering - was it all his fault that we crashed like that? I think it's more of the team's inability to go out and do what they are paid for.
True, we failed in several things, and that is:
- we do not have a real option should Drobny get injured. I don't really see Timo Ochs being the one.
- we failed in getting a new striker after Pante and Voro left. Wichniarek? Sorry, but that guy is A JOKE.
- the defense sucks ass now that Joe has left for Hoffenheim
- we rely too much on players like Gojko Kacar and Patrick Ebert. Gojko is pretty much our life-insurance at the moment. If he's not on the pitch, the team doesn't work, either. The "harmony" and unity we had last season is gone. COMPLETELY.
Once we conceded a goal, the players run around on the pitch and don't know what to do anymore instead of fighting back. Yes, we did fight back last week at 1860, but come on, they were running out of gas, and instead of finishing them off in over-time, we got our asses handed to us in the penalty shoot-out. The most recent fiasco vs Hoffenheim yesterday evening just was the final straw. I did have hope when Raffael scored the first and only Hertha goal and who knows what might have happened had Maxi Nicu scored again shortly after half-time, but as we know, it didn't happen, and instead, we got totally steamrolled there.
Anyway.
Until we have signed a new coach, U23 manager Karsten Heine will take over business (I think he also did it in the 2003/2004 season after Huub Stevens got fired), and I am curious as to see whom we will get now. Hans Meyer, maybe? Now that would be awesome. Heh.
Feel free to discuss this.
